四向四果


The four accesses and four accomplishments (lit. "fruits") of the /sra^vaka path (catva^ri-phalani): (1) xutuo 须陀 "stream-enterer" (预流); (2) situojin 斯陀今 "once-returner" (一来); (3) anajin 阿那含 "non-returner" (不还, 不来); (4) aluohan 阿罗汉 "arhat" (无学). Each stage is seen as having two aspects: that of ascent into the stage, indicated by 向, and consummation of the stage, indicated by 果. The stream-enterer succeeds in eradicating conceptual disturbances 见惑 of the three realms (also called the eighty-eight defilements 八十八使), experiences the fifteen minds 十五心 of the Path of Seeing 见道, and finishing this task, enters the Path of Cultivation 修道, thus consummating this stage. Entering into the stage of once-returner, the practitioner removes the first six of the nine qualities 九品 of afflictions removable in the Path of Cultivation 修惑and thus consummates this stage. One then proceeds to enter the level of non-returner, where one eliminates the remaining three afflictions removable in the Path of Cultivation. In the final stage of arhat, all defilements have been permanently eradicated, and one is capable of entry into nirvana. [俱舍论、 T 1558.29.17b]
